Re: Strelets CW stalemate, Metal reinforcements enroute

Hi Hank,

I tried to order BB Crimeans too, but all of them were sold out. I guess you were there before me?


Oh yes, for a complete battle there are still too much gaps. Maybe the charge of the light Brigade is now an option for a diorma.

I have all the Tumbling Dice Crimeans but the Russians have the wrong equipment, the British in Greatcoats are useful for Inkerman but not the Alma.

You have Douglas Turks? Congratulations!! You know I've got the old Minifigs S-range Turkish command figures and I am still waiting for the factory to finish the mould.
Metalfigures are expensive and not so easy to convert. So I am still hoping for Strelets.

Turkish artillery had the same uniformstyle as the infantry, so I would convert them from other Frockcoat-figures too.

Cavalry is a little bid more difficult as we have different uniform-styles of them. Something had a husar-like jacket, others looked a little bid like cossacks. I have to check my uniform-binders here and start making some guys.

BTW, I would like to see your French/Turkish conversions!!

cheers
Uwe

Re: Re: Strelets CW stalemate, Metal reinforcements enroute

Howdy,I have set the French Light Turk converts up in a 90% era ready redoubt,which i need to complete with adding debris accessories . already it is very encouraging.Plenty of firing figures for the parapets.

I guess those must be Mini Figs not Douglas i have ,no markings on bases to refer.I had some mounted one piece cossacks from auction but now i think they are RCW figures.

Charge of the Light Brigade still has No turkish infantry/art (i need to convert artillery for above ),no Chasseurs D'Afrique etc.

Oh b&b(Franco prussian range)the Cavalry suck, figures dont fit horses and need alot of engineering time to fit them. some reason they look like strelets(but in metal).

Tumbling Dice artillery due this week's mail.

various Mule figs coming fRom ebay-world.This will be a pet project to make french zouave ambulance etc.

If only . .

French Cavalry, British Grenadiers, British Light Infantry and Turkish Infantry in Big Box format?

This would be a homerun.(No this would be teh superbowl )

Re: If only . .

If I had to make a guess, it's a Big Box set with French figures. French Light Infantry, Crimean War Zouaves, French Cavalry and a French Command set.

Re: Re: If only . .

...Or maybe Inkerman with some new British infantry...
..light and guards.

Re: Re: If only . .

Jan - You are probably closser to reality than my dream of four new sets in a big box. However, with all the uproar over a set of Turks (me included), I have to think that the next big box will at least contain Turkish infantry.

Re: to strelets

The S*R Team needs to seriously consider more Accessroy sets, as mentioned, such as the Attack on the Great Redoubt.

Whether Marx, Airfix, Revell, S*R, Zvezda, HaT ... etc, accessories should be easy money as they work for so many eras, and all generations of collectors will keep searching for them, even long after us.

Thanks for listening ... :-)
